Chris Cornell Dead at 52
Fuck me I'm sad https://www.google.com/amp/www.nydai...icle-1.3175490 Chris Cornell, singer and songwriter for Soundgarden, dead at 52; death investigated as possible suicide Rocker Chris Cornell, best known as the frontman of the 1990s group Soundgarden, was found dead in a Detroit hotel room early Thursday, and police are investigating his death as a possible suicide. He was 52. Police spokesman Michael Woody declined Thursday to provide details on what made that determination, but there were “basic things observed at the scene.” Cornell had been on tour with his band and tweeted out a message celebrating their return to the "Rock City" just before performing Wednesday evening. Geoff Nicholls, Black Sabbath keyboardist, dead at 68 The musician's representative Brian Bumbery confirmed the news that he passed away. Cornell's body was found at the MGM Grand Detroit Wednesday night, where he was staying, after his wife phoned a family friend to check on him, Woody said. The friend had to force his way into Cornell’s hotel room and found the star dead on the bathroom floor, he added. The singer-songwriter first made his name with the Seattle-based Soundgarden. The grunge rock band went on to have such hits as “Black Hole Sun” and “Spoonman” before breaking up in 1997.

He also lent his impressive vocal range to another supergroup to honor his deceased friend Andrew Wood by teaming up with members of Pearl Jam to create Temple of the Dog. 02151312571, 21334631, 14 Soundgarden performs at the Wiltern on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013 in Los Angeles.

Together, Cornell and Karayiannis had a daughter, Toni, and a son, Christopher Nicholas. The family has asked for privacy while also pledging to work closely with the medical examiner to determine the reason for his sudden death. Cornell had another daughter, Lillian Jean, from his previous marriage with Susan Silver, the manager of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. With News Wire Services  · |

Re: Chris Cornell Dead at 52
Yeah this sucks. All the guys I grew up listening too are offing themselves. I've always said I don't think it's natural to have that kind of fame and pressure on you all the time. Fucks you up mentally. I know he had depression. It usually with the meds today they can help a lot. |
